TAXES?THE "OLD
MAN" OF THE SEA
Calhoun Times.
No man enjoys paying taxes. Ev?
erybody harps about high taxation.
Many are naked tax-dodgers hut
when you try to lay the axe at the
root of the tree there .are always beneficiaries
and lieutenants on hand to
fight for the retention of every useless
' . office and bureau unless it is a poor
little truant officer with no lobby at
his back. If there ever was a time
when a retrenchment from the high
war levels was necessary it was last
winter. What happened? The legislature
did nothing. Governor Cooper,
a nice, handsome and pleasant genI
tleman, but sadly lacking in the genius
for interpreting the psychological
element of the people* recommended
an appropriation of ten millions of
dollars for state expenditures. When
a howl went up all over the state, a
taxpayers convention met in Columbia
and demanded relief. Those who
attended that convention brought
away some new angles of human na-i
ture. They thought they had a right
as sovereign taxpayers to demand
economy from their accredited representatives.
One old gentleman by the
name of Leopard, a member of the'
house from Pickens, snarlingly asked |
Mr. Dabbs why he did not offer for;
the legislature from. Sumter cou .ty,1
if dissatisfied. Mr. E. T. Hugnes,'
\ chairman of the ways.and means com!
mittee from Marion, and Mr. Claude
Sapp, another member from Richland
county also a member of the committee,
waxed hot and furious. Tears ran
down their florid cheeks. Their eyes
shot red like balls from a skyrocket
and the veins in their patriotic necks
bulged like huge pipe stems as they
ranted over the efforts of the bolshevists
to maim and cripple our state
institutions. Brother Sapp immortalized
a spotted mule that he, as a
poor, industrious boy, rode 'bare-back
to the little water mill with a peck of
corn on a Saturday afternoon for the
family grinding. What a pity no urn
was available to preserve the tears
of weeping Hughes and that no donation
of the bones of brother Sapp's
little mule was made to a musoum as
an inspiration to the struggling youth
?vf +V?o /?r?nn+rv Tr? shnw thpir cnn
tempt for the wild arid wooly crusaders,
who paid their own expenses
in their journeyings to and from Columbia,
in their efforts for relief,
Messrs. Hughes and .Sapp the erstwhile
barefoot, struggling, "onegallus"
boys, now full grown, well
a groomed, shining lights of the elite
plutocracy, on the same night, rushed
their appropriation bill through the
house with practically no reduction
and refused to wait for further consultation
from the light weights of
the styx. Shakespeare says something
about these fellows who cut
1 such fantastic tricks before high heaven
that they make the angels weep.
On one occasion Napoleon, when he
wanted more money appealed to Cariiot,
his minister of finance. "Sire,"
said Caraot, "the only way to pluck
this tax goose is to pluck up to the
point where he squawks no further.
Then let him rest till feathers grow
acain.''
?0
Our self-constituted political bosses
are not as wise as Carnot and decided
to let the goose squawk. There
may be some significance in the f<fct
that the Blease corpse is being revived
according to newspaper report.
For various reasons, however, Blease
* is not tiie proper. man and cannot
again lead a successful political revolution.
The harvest is ripe but the
reaper is yet to be found. Had Governor
Cooper announced, like Governor
Miller of New York, that the
Avirrnn/>*nc ck rvnrvr*ln lir
V/JL t/HV ^/VV|/iV ? V4 v v%*
gent and expenditures must come
back to pre-war levels he would have
done the fair and equitable thing and
itrenehed himse'f in the confidence
and gratitude of the people. Instead,
he recommended the utterly ridiculous
increase of three millions of dollars
additional. He is the same governor
who, in a recent speech, advocated
cancellation of the debts due
the United States by France and England,
when magazines tell us that
France, already, is in the wildest
frenzy of extravagance in fashions
and dissipations ever known.

Mrs. Ruth Pauline (Bittle) Holland
(Read by Dr. A. J. Bowers at the
funeral of Mrs. Holland.)
The termination of this dear lady's
i earthly life (Juno 14th, 1021, Sta':e
Fark, Columbia, S. C.) breaks another
link in the golden chain which
binds us to a blessed and beloved
past.
Newberry and Newberry college
would be without a compensation.
/ hurt and poor indeed, if they were
robbed of the name and memory of
Dr. George W. Holland and his selfsacrificing
labors. This gentle, qiiiet.
Christian woman shared all his joys
and sorrows, and often, doubtless,
cheered his discouraged heart and
helped sustain his flagging faith. His
life and work would have been all inTH5Ynplete

The quick death of their noble boy
youn?r Robert, and the instant })erio(
of her devoted hu.-band's life, seem
ed too much for frail mortality t<
bear, but the consecrated dignity wit!
which she passed safely these (ier\
trials jrave evidence of a power bu
rarely seen in men or women,

I she was called by the ravages of :
dread disease to leave a bright am
lovinjr home to enter the hospital foi
all so terribly afflicted, it was a hea\\\
blow, heavy for herself not only, but
for her friends as well. Now" Death
has touched her srently and kisseil
her eyelids down, and she has fallen
asleep in Jesus. From a kind and
patient company she has passe; 1 out

and into tne jriaa mronjr oi uie udeemed
in heaven. She cherished
human friendships; who more? and
she has discovered it to be divine. We
may confidently believe she enjoys at
once the full fruition of the Christian's
faith. It will be lon.tr ere wi
can lose the recollection of her gentle
worth, which lends sweet fragrance
to the memory of a pure wo
manhood: and it is the fond prayer of
all of us here that when we, too, shal:
have experienced that breathless
! transition from one world to another
.there may be some, in forgiving fa,
